Where am I supposed to start http://www.wowhead.com/quest=31959 at? I'd obviously like to complete that quest line and grab the 489 ring. Does this only open up once HoF opens or am I missing something?

All quests rewarding 489 items available after you become exalted with particular faction.

This. More quests become available with each faction as you get more rep, not just more dailies. When you become exalted with a faction you unlock the chain to finish their story line. The Klaxxi storyline is about putting the Empress back in here place as she has got too big for her boots. This quest finishes that.

I know it says coming soon already, so this question will be aimed more towards my fellow Shamans rather than Endus himself.

Also, all of my questions are specifically pertaining to PVE as I have never been good at nor enjoyed PVP.

Anyway

So I got a new machine, one that can not only run the game pretty well, but one that I can use addons too without it being so laggy that I can't play. That being said, which addons are recommended for relatively new Elemental Shamans? Is there a Shock and Awe equivalent for Elemental?

Not in the sense of a separately built addon with that kind of suite of features. You could try something like my aura package; Endus' Shaman Auras, or one of the other UI addons in the "Shaman links" sticky. If what you're looking for is ability trackers, you'll find something there; I specifically designed mine somewhat with the same concept as ShockandAwe, in that I wanted an information-rich package with a small screen real estate with progress bars (though I obviously went a different way on a lot of details).

Next, are there any simple macros I should the using?

The only ones that really pop to mind are ones to automatically trigger Synapse Springs;

Code:

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/use 10
/cast Lightning Bolt

For instance. "10" is the glove slot. You can also add in 13/14 for the trinket slots. These aren't necessarily optimal gameplay, since you're just basically using them on CD, but it helps to boost uptime if you keep forgetting them.

Obviously, replace "lightning bolt" with "lava burst" or whatever other spell you like, if you want it on multiple spells.

Most of the rest of things I could suggest would be things like focus Hex macros or mouseover healing macros.
